I NEVER thought I would be posting such a thing, but time and progress has its way with all of us. :)

NICO, in order to keep up with the changing face of motorsports, is going to be adding (within the next several days) a new forum to cater to the rapidly-growing sport of drifting.

This represents a significant advancement for NICO, which began with our affiliation and support of the Formula Drift Series, and has led to the introduction of our newest sponsor, Drift Factory. I, as the CEO of your forums, intend for this to culminate in NICO fielding a drift car (yes, a NICO drift car) for the 2005 competition season.

Anand (Black240), Ryan (BuudWeizErr), Rubin (Former 240 S14) and Chet (ExarKun) will be moderating this new forum. They're going to have their hands full making sure this forum doesn't turn into a flame-fest. Try to help them out. However, since no one here is making a living on the drift circuit, we shouldn't have too many prolems with "know-it-alls". :)

Drift Factory will be presenting this forum exclusively, and will provide NICO members with insight and technical expertise in the sport of drifting - They will be active in the forum, to answer any questions you may have about technique, equipment, and car setup. This information will come from someone who is active on the drift circuit and has years of experience in competitive drifting (I'll let him introduce himself :))

This, my friends, is HUGE. :)

Here's an introduction to Drift Factory (http://www.driftfactory.com) , whose banner wil be appearing very soon:

Drift Factory is a drift company based in Southern California, dedicated to providing drifters and other motorsports enthusiasts with quality aftermarket performance parts. We are located at 725 East Cochran Street Unit E, Simi Valley, CA 93065.

Drift Factory is a specialty retailer of drift-specific parts. We cater wholly to the drifting market. We are an authorized dealer for many of the top automotive parts manufacturers in the industry including Blitz, Kaaz, Racing Brake and Cusco. These parts are warehoused by us at our US location and are regularly IN STOCK which means that your products are usually shipped the day you order them. If you are looking for a part that is not currently offered by Drift Factory, we will do our best to special order that part for you. We like to distinguish between our special order and in stock parts so that you know exactly when your parts will arrive. All of our products are safely packaged and shipped to you promptly via UPS so that you may track your order at any time. Drift Factory is pleased to announce our new line of Drift Factory merchandise including T shirts, sweatshirts, car-specific jerseys and drift clothing for women.

Our mission is to educate our customers about the rapidly-spreading sport of drifting and provide you with high quality performance parts that will enhance your driving and/or racing experiences. Our goal is to exceed our customers' expectations. Drift Factory values customer feedback. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us by email, fax, phone or in person.

Our success is heavily dependent upon our ability to satisfy you. Our customers are the driving force behind our product selection and continuous improvements. Drift Factory understands that our customer mix ranges from the novice drifter to the more accomplished racing professional. We recognize that each customer has specific needs as well as varying product and service requirements. Whatever your drifting needs, we are willing to work with you to find the right parts.

Drift Factory is very proud to be affiliated with the largest group of 240sx owners on the Internet, and we look forward to a long and productive relationship with the NICO forums!

Please welcome Drift Factory to the forums, check out the NICO Drifting Forum when it arrives, and keep it SLIDEWAYS!!!

All I have to say is, I hope the kids behave in this forum. It will probably move alot of traffic on 240sx general to this new place which would make things spread out and stay on topic. Good job getting this one Greg. You do great work around here.

One question, would they be interested in sponsoring some large meets? I already have a sponsor for small meets that I met at the last one I planned. But maybe we could get something good going here. I like the whole event organizer role now that mine went over so well.

i think it would be very sweet to have this professional team and car travel to NICO events and really draw some attention. also, some drifting expos for NISSANS only at tracks like ROAD AMERICA would be really good. we did needed this forum though...

Soon, very soon.

I'm cranking as fast as I can.

Thanks for all the kind words and support you guys. Those kinds of comments make all the hard work worthwhile.

Camel - I have you tapped as our SouthEast Regional Meets Rep. More to come, but plan on being THE MAN. Gonna have reps for each region, and I'll be posting the regional map soon. One project at a time. :)

Quick, jump on the bandwagon! ;)

There are more than enough companies already sponsoring road race efforts. Kudos to the drift guys.
